Zion or Ben: who is the bigger bust?

When all is said and done and both guys retire, who will be the bigger bust? I don’t have faith that either will become a big time star at this point. I’m sure one could develop into a complementary player, but not what you’d want from a top pick.
My vote is with Zion

Its not even a question that it is Ben Simmons.

Simmons by far.
Zion will end up with a productive but short career. Simmons is done.

Zion is definitely busting but not sure if that effects his basketball game

While Zion has been more productive, he also came into the league with much more hype than Simmons.
People had been watching Zion Highlight tapes for years before he even was at Duke.

Ben is a bust barring some miracle turnaround which is extremely unlikely.
Zion still has potential to be all NBA, which was never in the cards for Ben. I’d say we have a ways to go on judging him.
If both don’t play anymore meaningful basketball, Zion is a bigger bust because more was expected from him

Not sure if referring to busting at the seams or up in dem guts.

what kind of bust we talking?
Posted on 6/8/23 at 10:30 am to TexasTiger08
It’s a tough one
Ben washed himself pretty quickly but he at least had 2-3 meaningful seasons
Zion cant even get on the floor tho the Pelicans being a retarded organization has a lot to do with it

Zion was crazy productive last year before getting hurt, again.
Ben is obviously clearly done with his career, and has been for awhile.

Ben Simmons is a 3x all star, 2x 1st team all defense, 1 time all nba 3rd team.
He at least gave Pilly 4 years of #1 pick production averaging 16/8/8 while being an all star and only missing 34 games in those 4 years before he turned into a vagina. He was also still valuable enough before he quit to net them a future hall of famer.
Zion's been here 4 years and hasn't done jack shite for his team b/c he's only played in 1/3 of his teams games. congrats on making the allstar team in a season where you played 29 fricking games out of 83.
Zion has a ways to go to catch up with what Simmons has already accomplished in his short career thus far.

Easily Zion until he can put a few seasons together. He was also way more hyped than Ben

At least Simmons has some ability -- AVAIL-ability.
Zion doesn't even show up. He can't even take up space.
I would rather have someone who can give me some meaningful minutes, but at least Simmons will get on the court.

Dude fleeced the league into thinking he was good.

Are you kidding?

If you paid attention to Simmons at LSU, you knew he probably had a ceiling to how good he would be because he couldn’t shoot.
Williamson was supposed to be the next great thing. Too bad he’s allergic to playing basketball.

Zion was the most obvious bust candidate I've ever seen. This board said he was a generational, can't lose pick 
Posted on 6/8/23 at 12:25 pm to TexasTiger08
Zion has a bigger one and so far is a bigger one.
At least Ben, as much as I loathe him, has made it somewhere in his career.
